I like those interviews with Steffi very much. You see what a lovely and humble person she is. Nice voice as well.

It's not surprising Graf described Coetzer as a dangerous player, because it's those speedy types like Coetzer and Sanchez-Vicario who have incredible defense, fitness and all the shots that bothered many on tour. And Graf meant what she said, because besides Sanchez, it was Amanda Coetzer who years later did serious damage to Graf in their later matches.

Interesting that Steffi named Amanda Coetzer as a dangerous player.

Steffi played such a bad match against Arantxa in the quarter finals, so many errors. It looked like she didn't really want to be there.

[@bglasper]

anyway she got 22 grand slams. we all have bad days. arantxa was great player too. she played with some energetic noise every time she hit the ball. such a signature player.

[@zeddeka]

@@bglasper indeed. It'd be interesting to hear Steffi talk about that period in her life where it looked very much at times like she had a bit of a love hate relationship with tennis. She's very private though so I guess we won't. I guess it's tough to keep motivated when you've won everything there is to win by the age of 19.

By this point in Steffi's career, she was a combination of mentally tired, a bit disinterested and also physically hurt. The physical part was that by 1991, it was know about her back and knees starting to give out. Wear-and-tear. The disinterested factor, that one is from playing so much and at her high level for many years despite being so young. The mentally tired aspect was the sad part as Steffi was dealing with her father's growing problems and her parents marriage falling apart. This one she chose to keep private to protect her family, but keeping it too private to herself ended up hurting her and costing her.

Marion Bartoli is a way better Tennis player than Steffi Graf. Marion bartoli had belief in herself that Steffi Graff as a great tennis player doesn't have even being world no.1 to win Wimbledon. Wimbledon is a grass court tournament and therefore amongst the medium surfaces. which means medium rallies dictated by serve and therefore less exertion of energy during a point and shorter matches in general. you get value for your shot! fat and short or tall and thin! when you play 3 sets against 5 sets for men, it is always an advantage. Marion Bartoli played a more strategic than a grind type of tennis in tournaments. good volleying skills as compared to Steffi Graff even in execution. Marion Bartoli had the belief that she could win and in contrast to Steffi Graff who believed that Bartoli would wear herself down and just lose(not that they don't have to play, just that they had to hang in there long enough for her to break down). Most of them slightly underestimated what she was doing in tournaments. She was an inexperienced player by that point who had proven herself as a former top 10 player. Her winning was really a surprise i.e out of the blue with already having made the finals twice but her consistency was questionable. She had unique two handed forehands and backhands. That was easy to replicate and master but once mastered it was going to be lethal. That was what spectators saw in tournaments of Marion Bartoli to a great extent. at Wimbledon 2013 she had some luck from the draw as 15th seed. she never played a top 10 player en route to her victory. the finalist she played: Venus Williams had already beaten Agnieszka Radwańska en route to the final. Venus Williams was playing her best but was probably worn out a lot by her battles with Agnieszka Radwańska and others. Venus Williams was in the form of her life but Bartoli had the luck of the draw. Regardless of whether your fat or not, if you make your shots even Steffi Graff may not be able to return it at Wimbledon. so if you are playing near perfection and having consistency with your shots then you are playing on a level field. then speaking of fat, technically Marion Bartoli may be classified as fat, yet she was the most successful female tennis player. Bartoli wasn’t really playing a specific style and really had weakness in tournaments and most of her shots had some vigor in it that Steffi Graf generally doesn't necessarily have. Here return games were spot on and had more errors and more importantly she can get Steffi Graff to errors first. all in all, this was a victory that was easily replicable or Bartoli after this mediocre run. She had belief and luck along with inexperience that allowed her to win her only Grand Slam. Marion Bartoli was dubbed as unfit and fat. She still made it to Grand Slam finals. Even in her Wembdon win 2013 she wasn’t fit. Marion Bartoli is an inspiration. It was really a fluke because Bartoli won by dropping sets and beat a few top 20 players along the way. Winning by dropping a set means you played really close to perfection along with dropping the level enough that allowed anyone to comeback and take a set from you. being fat may seem a hindrance, but is a limitation if you want it to be one. Honestly calling her fat in tournaments is really justifiable because she wasn’t thin but fat is really appropriate. And yes, tall and lanky players like Steffi Graf don’t always win , especially in the topsy turvy women’s tour. slightly fatter players can generate more power than extremely thin and tall players like Steffi Graff.
